Atomistically informed analysis of melting is conducted to predict equilibrium melting points of aluminum nanocrystals in the size range 2–10 nm. Spherical and cubic nanocrystals and planar films are considered. Relevant ...

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are conducted to determine non-equilibrium energy accommodation coefficients for aluminum-inert gas systems for a surface temperature of 300 K and gas temperatures in the range of 1000-3000 ...
